Here are some pictures and movies of our mini-vacation in the Poconos last week.
Maya geared up and ready to hit the slopes:
Jonah looks like he was born to be on skis:
Maya, Hunter Peterson, his little sister Kaitlyn, and Jonah:
Maya and Hunter had a blast together!
Wow, a family picture!
Maya has been asking to go skiing for some time now, and it turns out the place where we were staying (Split Rock Resort) was next door to Jack Frost ski area. So we had no excuses. On Monday, we took the gang skiing.
We had just put the skis on the kids and they looked to be doing okay going down the beginner slope, so I pulled out the camera to film their first run. Paul, who was a bit rusty after not having skied for almost 4 years, didn't exactly think it was the right time to be filming and instead wanted me to give some sort of lessons to the kids. As you can see here, Jonah didn't really need much instruction:
We started skiing around 11:15am, then took a break for lunch. This next movie is Maya at around 2.30pm. So she's been skiing for around 2 1/2 hours at this point:
This was Maya's last run of the day. She wouldn't stop skiing and we were the last ones on the hill:
As we were leaving the resort that afternoon, Maya wanted to know when we would be going again. The next morning, she woke up and wanted to ski some more, so I took her for a second day:
We got a nice dumping of snow today - great light powder - but it doesn't do us a lot of good here in Alexandria. So we're going skiing tomorrow. When Jonah woke up and saw all this snow, he said, "Are we going skiing today??" He was so excited. Maybe we'll have more movies/pictures tomorrow.

I am completely and utterly impressed! Maya is a pro! Jonah was awesome, too! I want so badly to take Ingrid now. Let me know when you go skiing again! We'll join you! :-)
I knew it was curtains when Jonah started going backwards.
